I have the long awaited 9.6 installed however I seem to be missing something! The external renderer tab seems to be missing from the render globals dialogue box. Also when I render frame from Kray, all I get is a standard lightwave render, incidentley I tried Fprime and this crashed instantly!! Has ...

This is the log for the other quad core which renders the same frame from the same scene in a fraction of the time.

Hi Jure
Attached is the log.

it seems to be a problem with this scene. I rendered the benchmark and got the following results:

Slow Quadcore: 3min 55
Fast Quad: 3min 03
Dualcore laptop: 10min 55

Fortuantely this shows that both of my Quadcores are running as they should do, however it is very odd that the same scene can ...

Task manager shows 0% at idle.

I am now very confused, I tried rebooting and now with the octree at 30 it takes 13minutes to render a frame and I have not changed any settings??!! it really seems to be very random.

Threads are showing as 4 and multithreading in Render globals is also set on 4.

I tried increasing octree depth on the slow Quad core. It was at the default 20, I increased it to 30 this brought the render time down from 12mins to 7mins 30!
This is better, although it should be more like 4mins 30 ...

is that a command for the tailer commands?

It is almost as if it is only using one core. Is there a way ofchecking if all 4 threads are working??

I am rendering an animation. I have tried rendering the same frame on all machines, one zaps through in 3 mins 30 and the other takes 12.20. My dual core laptop take 7mins 40!

Specs of machines are:


Slow quad core one: 4 x2.4ghz 4GB ram 32 bit win xp ATI FIRE GL 7200 graphics rendertime 12.20 ...

Hi
I am experiencing a strange varition in render times depending on which computer I use. I own two quadcore machines and a dualcore laptop. My quadcores render with identical times using Fprime, however if I render with Kray one is over 3times faster than the other! My much slower dualcore laptop ...

I generally use the mulptiplier on my image resolutions therefore I test at say 1280x 1024 and then my final images are at 400% therefore 5120x4096, so I don't ever have odd numbers in my resolution settings.

Interestingly my 32bit just crashes out of lightwave after antibanding - memory is never ...

I have tried rendering limited regions and it crashes everytime no mater how small, straight after antibanding as usual

Oh one thing, antibanding crash is related to the frame aspect ratio, so your image is for example 1000x700, but if it's 1001x701 it might cause the crash, this has information on bug hunting forums also, check that too if the crashes continue...

Or did you just use 400% or similar in camera ...

Hi Erwin thanks for the offer, Unfortunately I have signed all sorts of confidentiality agreements on this job so I am not able to disclose anything.
I have just purchased virtual render in another desperate attempt to save the situation, it seems to work on my old slower PC however not on my new ...

I have purchased Kray and have got to grips with it pretty well, it seems to be capable of producing very good images quickly...... at low resolution. I have spent the last few weeks producing a set of visuals for a client I was extremely pleased with the results, 4 days before the deadline I ...
